Coalitions of Kruger National Park

[Brahim]

Golden Mopani Coalition!

Three brothers who rule the area around the H14 in Kruger National Park. Also known as the Shimuwini Coalition. The three Mopani boys have taken over the area once occupied by two males known as the Ngobeni coalition, when the Ngobeni coalition moved east closer to Letaba. The Three Mopani males seem young and in their prime around 6 years of age. They come from unknown origin, their fathers are not known. They control at least two prides currently, but could have more. They control a pride around the Ngobeni, Ngwenyeni bridge area and they also control a pride around the Letaba low bridge area. They have welcomed cubs with the pride at Letaba low bridge. This shows how successful this Mopani Coalition already is . A recent encounter shows that these guys are a serious threat to any males in the area, recently the Mopani Coalition were seen defending their territory from two big dark-maned lions who were previously dominant in the area. The Mopani boys easily dealt with this threat. The Mopani males are stunning males who have just started their reign, we look forward to seeing what is next to conquer for these Golden boys, who will surely grace the Kruger for some time now!
